Drivers who put fewer than 7,500 miles per year on a vehicle can save 5–20% with a low-mileage or pay-per-mile discount. Remote workers, retirees, and second-vehicle owners benefit most.
Programs worth checking
- Metromile and Mile Auto (pay-per-mile)
- Allstate Milewise
- Nationwide SmartMiles
- Standard low-mileage discounts at most major carriers
How to qualify
Submit current odometer photos at renewal. Some carriers verify via telematics. Most cap the discount at vehicles driven under 10,000 miles annually.
